Why This Black Astral Cat Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A black cat silhouetted against a star field, tail curled into a crescent, eyes picked out in bright contrast forms the subject of this Black Astral Cat piece, worked in ink black with white and gold star points over a deep violet night ground. The character is mystical and still, and it stays that way at any distance. Celestial cat designs bridge Halloween and everyday decor — they stay up long after October. It is aimed at homes where the small objects on the table have been chosen on purpose. Designed for Halloween and year-round celestial styling, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD529. Celestial cat designs bridge Halloween and everyday decor — they stay up long after October It is also why the piece keeps working after the novelty fades.
celestial cat designs bridge Halloween and everyday decor — they stay up long after October. That is what puts it at home in Halloween and year-round celestial styling, with the mystical tone of the colours carrying the room.
Every DOTZSO diamond painting kit is built for people who want the make to feel calm and the result to be something they actually use. Contents: colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, sorting tray, comfort-grip pen, wax caddy and illustrated step-by-step instructions.
The construction is deliberately simple: anti-slip body, cork backing, seated drill surface. That combination is what keeps the set out of a drawer.
The set runs to 10 coasters, each on the same cork-backed base for a consistent feel in the hand.

- Diamond painting tray
- Comfort-grip applicator pen

How to Make It
- Unroll the canvas on a flat surface and let it settle under something weighted if it has been rolled tight.
- Find the legend strip and match the first symbol to its drill colour.
- Press the pen tip into the wax caddy, then touch it to a drill – the drill lifts and stays on the tip.
- Set the drill onto the matching printed symbol and press lightly. Work one coaster at a time rather than moving across the whole set.
- Complete all coasters, then press each finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
- Finally, leave the set on the table for a few hours before first use so the drills settle fully.
Complete the set over a few quiet evenings, then put it to work — these are made to be handled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is anything in the coaster set sold separately?
Yes. The Cat coaster set ships complete with the stand shown in the product images, so the coasters have somewhere to live when they are not in use, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference BD529.
How resilient is the Cat finish in practice?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Cat design holds under normal use. The cork-backed base is what stops condensation reaching the table, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. Sealing properly is the whole of the maintenance story here.
Can the Cat coaster set be washed?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not submerge them or put them through a dishwasher — the adhesive layer under the drills is not built for a soak. For the Cat palette, warm greys and soft browns tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A microfibre cloth works well on the Cat surface.
Does the Cat piece have any printed-only areas?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Cat artwork is drawn so that a cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward reads clearly at any distance. Coverage on the Cat piece is consistent edge to edge.
How many evenings will the Cat design take?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Cat design is calm and companionable, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Cat pattern builds up quickly once the colour blocks start.
Would a beginner manage the Cat coaster set?
Yes. The symbol key is printed directly on the cork-backed base and the pictorial instructions walk through the whole process, so no prior diamond painting experience is needed. The Cat layout is calm and companionable, which helps on a first attempt. All the essentials come in the box.

I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Solid kit, would order again.
Andre N. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. It fits perfectly with the decor in the front entry. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Sofia N. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Will be back for more.
James E. (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. The autumn pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Colors match the listing photo really closely. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. I’ll be ordering more.
William P. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. Overall a good experience.
Kristina Beach (verified owner) –
Grabbed this on a whim after a long week. The finish on each coaster matched the others exactly. Great little housewarming gift. Would recommend to anyone on the fence.
Ashleigh Mueller (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. The edges came finished cleanly with no rough spots. It’s easy to lose track of time once you get going. I went with the kitty version and the colors are lovely. Definitely ordering more as gifts. Would definitely buy from here again.
April Parker (verified owner) –
These coasters have become the little project I look forward to. They’ve survived a house full of guests without a mark. The kitty subject matter is right up my street. I’d recommend it to a friend.
Vince Scott (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. The surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, no fuss. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. They’ve held up without a single scratch. Will definitely be back.
UFOsAndUpholstery (verified owner) –
I bought this to fill the gap between bigger projects. The finish on each coaster matched the others exactly. The tray held more than enough drills at a time. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. They make the whole table look more put together. Would recommend to anyone on the fence.
Monica Christie (verified owner) –
Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. Really glad I bought it.
Selena Marsh (verified owner) –
Been eyeing this one for a while and finally pulled the trigger. The backing held up fine and didn’t peel anywhere. Packaging was tidy and nothing had spilled in transit. I did most of it on weekend mornings with coffee. They’ve become the thing people notice first in the living room. Would order again in a heartbeat.
Erica Gallagher (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. They’re on the coffee table and get used every day. If you like cat designs, this is a good example. It only comes in sets, so I couldn’t buy a single extra. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Roman Suarez (verified owner) –
I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. I keep them out for guests and always get asked about them. I’d recommend it to a friend.
Randy Powers (verified owner) –
Ordered this as a small pick-me-up and it worked. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. I did this with my dentist’s receptionist on the weekends and we both got into it. The result looks handmade in the best way. Completely satisfied.
Lucinda Woodard (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. They’re on the coffee table and get used every day. The pen was fine, though I ended up using my own. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
Wendy Soto (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. No missing colors and nothing short in the high-use shades. I chose this one for the kitty look. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. It’s easy to lose track of time once you get going. I gave one to my sister and she immediately ordered her own. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Thomas Morrow (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. I’m a sucker for anything cat-themed. The printed chart could have been a touch larger. They live on the side table and look good there. Overall a good experience.
Sue Phelps (verified owner) –
I’ve been eyeing this design for weeks and finally pulled the trigger. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Charlotte E. –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. I’ll be ordering more.
Mitchell Cote –
Picked this up to try something different and really enjoyed it. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. I spread it over a week and enjoyed every session. Very happy with this purchase.
Heather C. (verified owner) –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Would make a great gift too.
Sara Carter (verified owner) –
I keep a project going at all times and this is the current one. I chose this one for the cat look. Colors are distinct enough that I never mixed two shades up. The wax ran low before I finished the last section. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.
DesertDiamondArt (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Would definitely buy again.

Laurel Kim (verified owner) –
Bought these to replace a tired set and the upgrade is obvious. They’ve survived a house full of guests without a mark. The kitty pattern is what made me choose this one. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. Overall happy, just a few small things.

Alyssa Witt (verified owner) –
Been doing these for about two years and this kit is solid. The holder fits all 10 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. The finished piece genuinely surprised me. Still a good kit overall.
Denise P. (verified owner) –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Worth every penny.

Lucas Newton (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. Nice mindful project – you can’t think about much else while you’re placing drills. Some colors had very few spare drills. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
